Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:

It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar rapist won't stick around... After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there ..... This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

Official Investigations & Security Services, Inc. signed a contract with Custom Design Benefits, Inc. of Cincinnati, OH to provide pre-employment background screening to their potential new hires.

Now in the time that we live, it is a necessity to conduct a full background check on every new employee hired. If you don't, you could become a victim of embezzlement, fraud, or may be employing a convicted sex offender or violent felony offender.

The approximate cost of $100 will save you from having to pay millions later to settle a lawsuit.
